Hello. I'm using a Korg NanoKontrol with Midi Translator Classic and I'm wondering if there is a variable that would allow the knobs going up (clockwise) to send one command and the knobs going down (counterclockwise) to send another. Is this possible, and if so how can it be achieved?

I've made an example here of this working, using a knob input, which I use B0 00 oo in the example. B0 00 being the first MIDI note on the first channel and oo being the 'local variable'. You just need to edit B0 00 to be the message from your knob, whatever that may be. I also use the 'global variable' ga, just because it is the first one.

There is 3 translators, it could normally be done in 1 but because you have keystrokes, a translator can only output 1 singular keystroke, and because there are 2 translators for this, we need to 'track' the knob position in another translator.

The first 2 translators basically check if the knob input is either higher or lower than the previously stored value. The previously stored value is set in the third translator. The third translator needs to be last so it tracks the position after the first 2 readings, this is basically setting the last knob position value.

And @in_every_end, the knobs on the MPD are physically endless, but they send an absolute value, as in after it reaches 127/7F, it stops sending messages when you turn it. Stupid, I know.

Thanks Scott, this looks like it will do the job!
I'm new to using rules so just wondering, before I turn the knob for the first time will the ga variable have a value equal to 0 as no value will have been assigned to it yet.
